COVERT ANCESTRY.

Compiled by Edson Salisbury Jones.

.1 - The first man in America, as far as yet seen, who bore a sur-
name which was one of the many variants of the modern form,
- Covert, was Theunis Janssen, who came to the Province of New
' York in 165 1, according to his oath of allegiance, taken in Sept.,
\ l 1687.
~ When New Amsterdam was first settled, the surnames of the
4. Dutch were patronymic. The patronymics of children were the
Z- % Christian names of their fathers somewhat varied to denote the
* sons and daughters. As an example, — the sons of a Jan Pietersen
2l^ (meaning Jan, son of Pieter) took the patronymic, Janse, Janssen
. or Janszen (meaning son of Jan); and the daughters properly
f-£) took the form, Jans (meaning daughter of Jan). If Jan Pietersen
"* had a son, Theunis, he took the name Theunis Janssen; and all
— » the latter's sons took the patronymic Theunissen. Soon after
* arrival in New Amsterdam, men began to take what became true
st surnames. These were often the names of the towns or localities
'_<_where they had formerly resided, with the prefix, van (meaning
Cj of or from), — as van Aarnhem (from Aarnhem, Province of
Guelderland); sometimes Dutch words indicating occupations, —
de Riemer (the saddler); or others expressing condition or char-
acteristics,— as de Ryck (the rich man), and de Witt (the white
one — of light complexion), etc., etc.

The derivation of the surname, Covert, seems to be uncertain;
and four Dutchmen (familiar with the origin of names) have fur-
nished no solution. Possibly it came from Coevorden, or Koe-
vorde, a fortified town in the Province of Drenthe, Holland, 23
miles S. S. E. of Assen. This town-name form has not been seen
in connection with Theunis ', whose surname is variably recorded
as Coevors, Coevers, Cou verts, etc.; but has been seen in two
instances connected with his alleged children. These are (a) in
the record of marriage of Aeltje, where she appears as "Aeltje
Theunis Van Couverden " (N. Y. Du. Ch. Rec— N. Y. G. & B. Soc.
Coll., 1890, p. 45); and (b) in Snell's Hist, of Hunterdon and
Somerset Cos., N. J., p. 561, and Messler's Hist, of Somerset Co.,
p. 34, where the authors say that among the heads of families,
who came from Long Island to New Jersey, was "Jan Hans
Coeverden." The next nearest form is in the deed from "Abra-
ham Coverd" to his brother "Isaac Coverd." In olden times,
spelling was very variable. In such times, too, the wives of
Dutchmen were usually spoken of and recorded by their maiden

Bergen's " Early Settlers of Kings Co., N. Y.," treats the Covert
family the most extensively of any work seen. Of Theunis1 and
his family, he says:

Coevers or Covert. Teunis Janse emigrated in 165 1, from
Heemstede, in North Holland; m. Barbara Lucas or Jans; resided
at first in New Amsterdam, and finally settled in Bedford in
Booklyn, at which place he took oath of allegiance in 1687;
member of Ref. Du. Ch. of New Amsterdam prior to 1660;
member of Ref. Du. Ch. of Brooklyn in 1660, 1677 and 1685;
and died prior to 1700. Issue:

Hans Teunise, m. Jannetje Boka (Bragow); oath of allegiance,
1687; on the Raritan, N. J., 1705.

Marretje Teunise, m. Nov. 24, 1682, Jean Messerole, Jr., of
Bushwick.

Lucas Teunise (see under Lucas Covert and family).

Mauritz Teunise, bap. Aug. 6, 1663; m. April 1, 1690, Anne
Fonteyn, widow of Jacob Jansen; oath of allegiance, 1687.

Aeltje Teunise, m. May 18, 1679, in New York, William Pos or
Post of New York.

Sarah Teunise, m. April 7, 1680, in New York, Arent Frede-
rickson of New York.

Annetje Teunise, bap. Aug. 18, 1661; m. April 16, 1687, Garrett
Sprong.

Jannetje Teunise (supposed), m. Titus Syrachs DeVries.

Aaggrica or Eechtje, m. Derk Paulus of Jamaica.

Jahannes Teunise, m. Jannetje ; oath of allegiance,

1687; settled on the Raritan, N.J.

Theunis1 Covert and Family.

Original authority that Theunis1 came from Heemstede has
not been seen, but it may be in the records of the N. Y. Dutch
Church.

That he came to the Province of New York in 165 1 is shown
by his oath of allegiance. On the list of oaths taken Sept. 26-30,
1687, among the Brooklyn men was " theunis Janse Couverts, 36
Jeare" [36 years in Prov. of N. Y., 1687-36-1651]. (Doc. Hist.
N.Y.,1, p. 43°-)

Among the members of the Ref. Du. Ch. of New York, before
1660 (as printed), appear:

"Theunis Janszen Coevers, en ) Vertrocken nahvv r ^

" Barbara Jans syn huysv' jBreuckelen" jl

B. Rec., IX, p. 72.)

Among the members of the Ref. Du. Ch. of Brooklyn, on
Sept. 12, 1660, appear:

" Teunis Janse, Barbar Lucas." (Holland Society Year-Book,
1897, p. 133)

As "Barbara Jans," the wife appears but once; but as "Bar-
bara Lucas," she is found several times on the Church Record.
No marriage of Theunis' has been seen, and it seems uncertain,
as yet, that these two women were identical.

Some Theunis Jansen was assessed in Brooklyn in 1675. (Doc
Hist. N. Y., IV, p. 93.)

Some Theunis Jansen was assessed in Brooklyn in 1676. (Doc.
Hist. N. Y., II, p. 275.)

Some Teunis Jansen was assessed in Brooklyn in 1683. (Doc.
Hist. N. Y., II, p. 290.)

The latest appearance of Theunis with wife that has been
seen was March 29, 1691, when "Theunis Janszen Couvors" and
"Barbara Lucas" witnessed bap. of Theunis, son of Mauritz
Couvors and Anneken Fonte>;n, in N. Y. Du. Ch. ( N. Y. G. & B. Soc.
Coll., 1901, p. 202). The last appearance of Theunis was March
13, 1692, as "Teunis Jansen Coevers," a witness to bap. of Jan,
son of Dirck Poulusseen and Sara Jeets, in Brooklyn Du. Ch.
(Hoi. Soc. Year-Book, 1897, p. 164). Dec. 27, 1696, " Bar bar
Coevors" witnessed a bap. in Brooklyn Du. Ch. (id., p. 171); but
it is uncertain whether she were wife of Theunis' or of Lucas.

Hans (Theunis '). In dealing separately with this son, Bergen
calls him Hans or Jan; ind the last child of Theunis', named by
Bergen, is "Johannes." For the following reasons, the " Hans"
and "Johannes" of Bergen would seem to be identical:

(a) Hans and Jan were both diminutives of Johannes, all three
names being often used tor the same man.

(b) "Jan Couverts, native" (born in Prov. of N. Y.), took oath
of allegiance in 1687. (Doc. Hist. N. Y., I, p. 430.) No'Hans
Couvert did so.

(c) Bergen gives "Hans" and "Jan" wives having the same
Christian name. (No marriage of Hans or Jan has been seen.)

(d) In deeds by the text of which "Hans" was grantor, the
deeds are signed "Jan."

(e) The three children bap. in Brooklyn and New York (two
of "Hans" and one of "Jan") are found in the will of "Jan
Koevers,"of Millstone, N.J. No will of " Hans" has been found,
or any administration on his estate.

It would seem that the wife of this Hans or Jan was Jannetje,
dau. of Bragoon Braghar (or Bourgen Broecord, or Broeckaert).
Before the removal to New Jersey, two of the issue of this couple
were bap. in Brooklyn and one in New York, as follows:

Bap. Aug. 3, 1690, Ariaentje, dau. of Hans Teunissen Coevers
and Jannetje Boka. (Hoi. Soc. Year-Book, 1897.)

Bap. April 16, 1693, Theunis, son of Jan Coeverts and Jannetje
Broeckaert. (N. Y. G. & B. S. Coll., 1901.)

Bap. March 29, 1696, Bragon, son of Hans Coevers and Jannetje
Coevers. (Hoi. Soc. Year-Book, 1897.)

Bergen gives "Johannes" a son, Teunis, bap. in New York,
April 1 1, 1 693 ; but only the bap. of Theunis, on April 16, has been
seen.

Some Jan Teunissen was assessed in Brooklyn in 1683. (Doc.
Hist. N. Y., II, p. 292.) No assessment of "Hans" has been
found.

June ai, 1690, Hans Tunis Covert and Bourgen Broecord, both
of Bedford, Kings Co., N. Y., bought land in Newtown, Queens
Co., N. Y. (Queens Co. Deeds, B. II, p. 353.)

Jan. 26, 1695/6, Johannes Covert and John Miserole, Jr., of
Kings Co., bought a corn mill and meadow. (Kings Co. Deeds,
II, p. 238)

Feb. 4, 1698/9, Johannes Covart, of Newtown, Queens Co., sold
said mill and meadow. Signed, "John Covert." (Kings Co. Deeds,

II, P- 238)

Feb. 21, 1700/1, John Covers and wife, Jane, of Newtown, sell
land there. Signed, "Jan Coevers, Jantie Coevers." (Queens Co.
Deeds, B. II, p. 319-)

May 9, 1702, John Coverson and Bragoon Braghar, of Somerset
Co , N J., planters, bought 2,000 acres at the mouth of Millstone
River, N. J. (E. J. Deeds, C. II, p. 447-)

March 13, 1706/7, Jno. Covers, of Millstone River, N. J.,
confirmed his sale of Feb. 21, 1700/1. Signed, "Jan Coevers."
(Queens Co. Deeds, B. II, p. 324.)

March 15, 1706/7, Hans Coverd and Andrew Bird, Jr., of
Millstone River, N. J., and Isaac Bourga, of Newtown, N. Y.,
sold Newtown land. Signed, "Jan Coevers." (Queens Co.
Deeds, B. II, p. 318.

Will of "Jan Kuvers," of Millstone, Somerset Co., N. J.,
yeoman, stricken in years, dated May 2, 1719, and pr. April 13,
1723, names wife Jane: sons, Tunis (eldest), Bergon and Lucas
(yonngest); and daus., Catherine Bird, Orianchy Courser (bap.
"Ariaentje"), Jane, Marry and Bathseba. Signed, "Jan koevers."
(East Jersey Wills, A., p. 244, and original will.)

Rev. E. T. Corwin's " Historical Discourse on the Occasion of
the Centennial Anniversary of the Reformed Dutch Church of
Millstone" (N. J.) refers to the purchase of the 2,000 acres on the
banks of Millstone River by "John Covers and John Brocars"
(p. 25).

Snell (p. 561) and Messier (p. 35) refer to " Johanes Coevert"
as living near New Brunswick early in the eighteenth century.
The mouth of the Millstone is about 6 miles from New Bruns-
wick. Snell (p. 818) says that among the subscribers to minis-
terial fund for church at Three Mile Run, N. J., in 1703, were
Lucas Coevert and Brogun Coevert. The only Brogun ( Bragon
or Bergon) Coevert seen was the one bap. March 29, 1696, who
would have been but seven years old in 1703. If the year of this
subscription be correct, it would seem that the subscription of
"Brogun" was in his name, he being then a child; and that of
Lucas may have been in his name as a child — as Jan's will shows
sons of these names. But, if Lucas were adult, then he would
seem to have been the man that Bergen makes Lucas1 (Theunis1).
If so, he most likely subscribed as a resident of Madnan's Neck,
and possibly while visiting at Millstone River. (See under Lucas
and Family.) It seems more probable, however, that the year
was about 1723, when Lucas and Bragon, sons of Jan, would have
been adults. Had the year been 1703, it would have been most
natural for Jan himself to subscribe, but in 1723 he was dead.

Marretje. Some " Marritje," dau. of a Theunis Jansen
(mother's name not given), was bap. April 20, 1653, in the N. Y.
Du. Ch. (N. Y. G. & B. Soc. Coll., 1901.)

Nov. 24, 1682, m. Jean Mesurella and Maretje Tunis Couvers.

Soc. Year-Book, 1898, p. 90.)

Lucas. (See Lucas and Family.)

Mauritz. Bap. Dec. 5, 1663, Maurits, son of Teunis Janszen
Coevors and Barber Lucas, of Breuckelen. Brooklyn Du. Ch.

April 1, 1690, m. Maurus Covert and Antie Fontyn. Flatbush
Du. Ch. Rec. No parents or witnesses given. (Hoi. Soc. Year-
Book, 1898, p. 94.)

Aug. 29, 1694, Mauritz Couverts and wife, Annetie — she "the
last widow of Jacob Janse," of Bushwick — exchanged land with
Charles Fonteyne. (Kings Co. Deeds, II, p. 13.)

April 26, 1697, Mauritz Coeverts and wife Anne, of Bushwick,
sold land that had belonged to Jacob Soldate, whose widow said
Anne had been. (Kings Co. Deeds, II, p. 130.)

It would seem that Antie Fonteyn had m. (1) Jacob Soldate;
m. (2) Jacob Janse, and m. (3) Mauritz Couverts.

further says that she d. June n, 1760, aged nearly 85 years.

Jannetie. The bap. or m. of this woman has not been seen.
Bergen says that one of the name m. Titus Syrachs De Vries.
Some Jannitje Teunis and her husband, Jan Hansen Bergen, had
Adriaentje bap. Dec. 11, 1681, with Hans Teunissen and Annitje
Teunis as witnesses, in Brooklyn Du. Ch. (Hoi. Soc. Year-Book,
1897, p. 154.)

Eechtie. No bap. of this woman has been seen, or her m.
to Paulus; but Dirck Poulussen and Eechtje Teunis had sons,
Johannes and Wilhelmus, bap. May 23, 1680, in Brooklyn Du. Ch.,
with Teunis Jansen Coevors, Arent Fredericksen, Jannitjen Teunis
and Jannetjen Klaes Van Lendersloot as witnesses. (Hoi. Soc.
Year-Book, 1897, p. 152.)

Before leaving Theunis1 and his family, it needs to be said
that there was a Teunis Jansen in New Amsterdam before the
arrival of the above-named Theunis l, as shown by the printed

"Records of New Amsterdam from 1653 to 1674." In thes<
records (VI, p. 73) is an entry concerning a suit for land.whereii
it is stated that the plaintiff, Pietersen, had "bought, heretofore
from one Teunis Jansen, sail maker, a lot in the Pearl Street * * '
according to the groundbrief thereof dated 4th July, 1645, grante(
to said Teunis Jansen by Gov'. Kieft." The defendant, Blanck
claimed the lot, and tried to disturb the plaintiff in his possession
The jury awarded the lot to the plaintiff. The date of this entn
is June 8, 1667. What became of this Teunis Jansen is unknown

Lucas Covert and Family.

When dealing separately with Lucas, Bergen says that h<
emigrated in 1653; m. Aug. 27, 1682, Barbara Sprung, of Flatbush
member of Ref. Du. Ch. of Brooklyn in 1677; took oath of alle
giance in 1687, residing in Bedford; resided at Madnans Neck, ir
Queens Co., in 1697, and at Three-Mile Run,N. J., in 1703. Issue
"all bap. in Brooklyn:"

Abraham, bap. May 27, 1683.

Isaac, bap. May 27, 1683.

Lucas, bap. April 9, 1699; m. Femmetje , and resided or

the Raritan, N. J.

"Signed his name 'Lucas Teunissen.' "

Bergen's year (1653) for the emigration of Lucas is wrong by
ten years, as proved by the number of years he had been in the
Province of New York when he took oath of allegiance. The
archivist of the State reports that the items relating to Coeverts
on the original lists, are correctly printed in Doc. Hist. N. Y., I.
p. 430, where it is shown that in Sept., 1687, " Luijcas Coeverts.
34 Jeare " (24 years in Prov. of N.Y.; 1687-24=1663), took the oath,
among Brooklyn men.

Aug. 27, 1682, Lucas Tunis Coevers and Barbara Sprong, m.
as per Flatbush Du. Ch. Rec. Names of parents or witnesses dc
not appear. (Hoi. Soc. Year-Book, 1898, p. 90.)

In what has been printed of the Brooklyn Du. Ch. Rec. in
Hoi. Soc. Year-Book, 1897, Lucas is not shown as a member of
that church "in 1677," but the original records may prove it.

Bap. May 27, 1683, Abraham and Isaac, sons of Lucas Tuniz
Coevers and Barbara Sprong. Witnesses: Teunis Janz Coevors,
Hans Tuniz Covers, Altie Tunis Covers (w. of Wm. Post), Gersje
Leiwes. Flatbush Du. Ch. (Hoi. Soc. Year-Book, 189S, p. 128.)

Bap. April 9, 1699, Lucas, son of Lucas Coevers and Barber.
Witnesses: Gerrit Sprong, Annetje, his wife. Brooklyn Du. Ch.
(Hoi. Soc. Year-Book, 1S97, p. 174.)

Some "Luickes Teunise" was assessed in Brooklyn in 1683.
(Doc. Hist. N. Y., II, p. 292.)

April 26, 1697, Lucas Coeverts, of Queens Co., N. Y., bought
land in Bedford, Brooklyn township, N. Y. (Kings Co. Deeds,
II, p. 140.)

April 26, 1697, Lucas Coeverts and wife, Barbara, of Madnans
Neck, Queens Co., N. Y., sold this same land. Signed, "Lucas (I)
Coeverts, his mark; Barbara (B) Coeverts, her mark." (Kings Co.
Deeds, II, p. 142.)

June 7, 1697, Lucas Covert and twenty-one others (no resi-
dences) gave consent for change of a highway (location not
stated). Signed, Lucas ( I) Covart, his mark. (Queens Co. Deeds
A, p. 1 34-)

Aug. 15, 1704, Abraham Coverd, of Madnans Neck, in Hemp-
stead, Queens Co., N. Y., for _£i 20 and a horse, sold to his "brother,
Isaac Coverd," of the same place, all grantor's lands (location not
stated). The deed states that "the land abovesaid is ye land
which was Lucas Coverd's where he lived and deceased."
(Queen's Co. Deeds, C, p. 73.) Madnans Neck is now called Great
Neck, and is in the N. W. part of the present town of North
Hempstead.

If this deed state the exact truth, it shows conclusively that
Lucas lived the latter part of his life and died on Madnans Neck,
Queens Co., N. Y. If he ever were at Three Mile Run, N. J., it
was but temporarily. There is no probability that he was the
subscriber to the ministerial fund at the latter place in "1703."
(See under Hans [Theunis.1] )

The printed records of North and South Hempstead do not
mention Lucas, as far as the indexes show; and his name has not
been seen in public records except as above. No will or adminis-
tration on his estate has been found, and none as to his wife.
Apparently Abraham was his eldest son, and inherited his father's
lands as such.

Was Lucas the son of Theunis ' ? No absolute proof of it has
been seen. According to their oaths of allegiance, Theunis came
to the Province of New York in 1651, and Lucas arrived in 1663.
Lucas married (his only wife, as far as known) in 1682, nineteen
years after his coming. It is quite possible that Lucas was a son
of Theunis,' and was left a child in Holland, when his father
emigrated. The nearest approach to evidence that Lucas was
son of Theunis,1 is the fact that the latter witnessed the bap. of
Abraham and Isaac, sons of Lucas, in 1683, as did Hans Tuniz
Covers and Altie Tunis Covers; but this was possibly due to
membership in the same church, to friendship, or to Lucas
having come from the same place in Holland as Theunis. The
name, Theunis, was fairly common in Holland; and in those early
times all sons of Theunises took the patronymic, Theunissen.
Among the catechumens in the Brooklyn Du. Ch., on Nov. 26,
1662, were two named Jan Teunisse, and one named Lucas
Teunisse (Hoi. Soc. Year- Book, 1897, p. 135). On the same date
and in the same record appear Catalyntie Teunise, Saertie
Teunise, Nys Teunis, Annetie Teunis, Aecht Teunis and Jan-
naken Teunis. This was probably before the arrival of Lucas,
though it is possible that he came in Oct. or Nov., 1663 (and
would not, therefore, have been quite 25 years in the Province in
Sept., 1687). Lucas Coevert witnessed the bap. of Maurits, son
of Maurits Coevert and Anna Fonteyn, in Brooklyn Du. Ch., Jan.
16, 1696, which was an association with a proved son of Theunis'
that is suggestive of relationship; and there are a few other
similar associations.

IO

Abraham. The bap. of Abraham, son of Lucas Tunis Coeve
and Barbara Sprong, has been given above; also an abstract i
the deed by which he sold the lands of Lucas Coverd to his ow
brother, Isaac. No other item concerning him has been seen c
public records, except that the printed records of North ai
South Hempstead, II, p. 142, show that his earmark was enter*
thereon Nov. 29, 17 10. It has been said, however, that he 1
Egbertje, dau. of Eldert and Styntie (Hendricks) Vcorhees, ai
had the following children bap. in Jamaica: Lucas, 1709; Ant:
1711, and Jannetjie, 1713. A plot of the land of some Abraha
Covert, 103 acres, is in E. J., Deeds, H', p. 421, but it is without dat

Although the deed from Abraham to his brother. Isaac, do
not say that the lands transferred by it were those of their fathc
it is quite certain that such was the case. The indexes of Quee:
Co. Deeds do not show Abraham as a grantee, nor do those" of t
printed records of the Hempsteads. Further, Lucas was t:
only father of sons, Abraham and Isaac, that has been found.

Isaac. The bap. of Isaac, in Flatbush Du. Ch., May 27, 16*
as son of Lucas Tuniz Coevers and Barbara Sprong, has be>
given above; as well as the purchase from his brother, Abraha-
of their father's lands on Aug. 15, 1704. Immediately succeedii
this deed on the record, is the following:

Feb. 19, 1705/6, Isaac Coverd, of Madnans Neck, in Hem
stead, assigns to Henry Defreiz, of Bushwick, all his "rig
and title of this within bill of sale." Signed, "Isaac (I) Covei
his mark." (Queens Co. Deeds, C, p. 74.) Evidently this assig
ment was written on the deed itself. Next immediately followi:
is this deed:

Feb. 18. 1705 (probably 1705/6), Isaac Coverd, now living
Madnans Neck, in Hempstead, Queens Co., Yeoman, sells to "r
father-in-law, Henry Defreize, now of Bushwick," all his lan<
meadows, marshes, houses, etc. Signed, "Isaac (I) Coverd, 1
mark, Elizabeth (X) Coverd, her mark." Isaac acknowledg
this deed "for himself and his wife," March 21, 1711, before
Justice of Queens Co. (Queens Co. Deeds, C, p. 74.)

The natural inference to be drawn from this deed is tl
Henry Defreize was the father of Isaac's wife, Elizabeth; but-
cannot be certain of this, as the term " father-in-law " was oft
used in early times for step-father. So, it is possible that Her
Defreize had m. Isaac's mother, Barbara Sprong, as a seco
husband (she probably was about 44 years old at this time,
living, having been bap. July 27, 1661); or that Defreize was th
the husband of Elizabeth's mother.

Search has been made under the surnames Defreise, De Fre
De Foreest and De Forest, but no Henry has yet been found w
had a daughter, Elizabeth. There was a man, whose name v,
generally entered on the Du. Ch. Rec. as Hendrick or Henric
de Foreest, who was bap. in N. Y., Sept. 9, 1657, and m. the
July 5, 1682, Femmetje Van Flaesbeeck. Five of their childr
were bap. in the N. Y. Du. Ch., 1683-1693. Of this man, Rike
"Revised Hist, of Harlem," p. 783, says he settled at Bushwi
L. I.; was commissioned justice of the peace in 1683; in 17

bought land at Madnans Neck and removed there; and d. in 1715.
Riker gives him no daughter Elizabeth, and speaks of no second
marriage. At present, the parentage of Elizabeth is uncertain.
Between the date of the deed and time of its acknowledgment,
Elizabeth may have died, and Isaac have re-married.

No other deed to which Isaac was a party is indexed on
Queens Co. Rec; and his name is not indexed in printed Hemp-
stead Rec. No will, or administration on the estate of an Isaac
of Queens Co. has been found. He seems to have disappeared
from that locality; though sometimes men lived a long time in a
place without their names being found on public records.

Isaac Covert, of Westchester Co., N. Y.
Within about four years after the date of the deed last men-
tioned, by which Isaac, of Madnans Neck, sold all his lands, an
1 Isaac Covert was of Rye, Westchester Co., N. Y., about ten miles
i across Long Island Sound from said Neck. That these Isaacs
I were identical has not yet been proved; but it is very probable
! that they were one. Isaac first appears on the records of the
I county as a brother-in-law of John* Horton, of Rye, as shown by
; the following deed:

April 5, 1 7 10, John Horton, of Rye, gave to his ''brother-in-
law, Isaac Covert," of Rye, 38 acres in Will's purchase. (West-
chester Co. Deeds, D, p. 103.) No deed of sale of this land by
Isaac is of record, but a deed of it by John Purdy, Aug. 3, 1725,
shows that it had passed into his possession. (Rye Deeds, C, p. 68.)
Whether Isaac's wife was Horton's sister, or Horton's wife was
Isaac's sister, or these men had m. sisters, is as yet uncertain. In
1716, John Horton sold his "brother-in-law, Daniel Purdy," of
Rye, meadow in that town. (Westchester Co. Deeds, G, p. 127.)
Weighing the gift of land to Isaac Covert against the sale of land
to Purdy, it seems rather probable that Isaac had m. John Hor-
■ ton's sister; and the probability is increased from the fact that,
: in 171 1, this John Horton gave land to all his brothers. No
proof has yet been found, however, that John Horton had a
sister, Elizabeth; but the names of all the children of his father
are not known.

The first book of Rye Deeds and the early Town Proceedings
long ago disappeared; so it is now impossible to know what they
may have shown of Isaac Covert's coming to Rye (no earlier
Covert has been found in Westchester Co., and none but Isaac is
of record for many years), or the grants of land he may have re-
ceived from the town, or purchases he may have made' from the
inhabitants.

The lands in "Will's Purchase" and in "White Plains Pur-

j chase" were bought by Rye people. A survey and a Patent

j were sought for the latter Purchase, and Isaac Covert was

I among the petitioners. Their prayer for the survey was granted

by the Governor and Council, Jan. n, 1721/2. (Land Papers,

VIII, p. 104.) The Patent was granted March 12, 1721/2. (Patents,

VIII, p. 450.) As not all who had the rights in the White Plains

Purchase were included among the patentees, the latter con-

firmed the rights of the former by a deed dated Jan. 18, 1722/
in which Isaac Covert was one of the grantors. (West. C
Deeds, G, p. 393.)

Nov. 11, 1725, a highway was laid out within White Plai:
Purchase, which passed Isaac Covert's house. Probably this ro;
was what has been known as West St. It seems, by the languaj
of the lay-out, to have extended southerly (from the old ro;
leading from White Plains to East Chester) to Mamarone*
River, running toward Rye Neck. (Old Highway Book, p. 14/

April 5, 1726, Isaac Covert was chosen a survevor for ti
White Plains Purchase. (Rye Town Rec, " 1738-1838," p. 40.

Land of Isaac Covert was mentioned as a bound in deeds
White Plains lands, in 1729, 1733 and 1735. (RYe Deeds, D,
298 and C, p. 262, 155.) Into whose hands these lands passed, lat
on, has not been discovered. Unfortunately, Isaac Covert le
no will; and no administration or division of his estate is index
of record. A great many old deeds were never recorded; ai
many estates of intestates were settled privately by the hei
Nothing further of Isaac has been seen of public record.

The Next Generation of Coverts in Westchester Co.

Items of Coverts in Westchester Co., in the generation f(
lowing the above Isaac, are not numerous on public recorc
Certain men, who were very probably sons of Isaac, resided
the Manor of Cortlandt, to which place quite a number of peoj
from White Plains, and vicinity, went for farms. Coverts, He
tons and Purdys were associates in that part of this Manor whi
became Yorktown.

April 11, 1758, Elisha Covert, John Gedney and Henry Pur
witnessed the will of Caleb Horton, Jr., of Cortlandt Man<
(N. Y. Wills, XXI, p. 14.)

April 14, 1 76 1, the ear-mark of John Covert was enten
(Yorktown Rec, I, p. 10.)

Feb. 4, 1769, some Covert was husband of Martha, dau.
John Gedney, as per said Gedney's will. (N. Y. Wills.)

May 7, 1772, administration on the estate of John Covert, c
ceased intestate, was granted to his widow, Mary. (N. Y. Ad
Book " 1 768-1 774," pt. 4, p. 46.)

Feb. 24, 1775, Adolph Covert, son of John, deceased, sold
his brother, Jacob, his share in farm No. 5, in Lot No. 3, Cc
landt Manor, which said Adolph and Jacob had bought of th
uncle, Isaac Covert. (Unrecorded Deed in hands of G.
Cocks.)

Will of Elisha Covert, of Cortlandt Manor, dated Sept.
1779, and proved July 14, 1781, names daus. Sarah, Dorof
Mary, Phebe, wife of Jesse Nelson, Elizabeth, wife of Willi.
Horton, Tamer, wife of Peter Warren, and Hannah, wife of [c
Teed. (N. Y. Wills, XXXIII, p. 266.)

Will of Isaac Covert, of Cortlandt Manor, dated May 4, 1 7
and proved Aug. 8, 1781, names wife Mary, his three' broth
Abraham, Elisha and Luke Covert, Elizabeth Lamereux, £
Phebe Travis, widow. (N. Y. Wills, XXXIII, p. 268.)

»3

Sept. 22, 1781, a John Covert was husband of Elizabeth, dau.
of Henry Purdy, as per will of said Purdy. (N. Y. Wills.) This
John, however, was of a subsequent generation.

In the foregoing items, we have Isaac, Abraham, Luke. Elisha
and John Covert as brothers. The first three of these Christian
names are found in the family of Lucas Covert (who came to the
Prov. of N. Y. in 1663, and died on Madnans Neck.) It is ex-
ceedingly probable that these brothers were sons of Isaac
Covert, of Rye and White Plains, who was very probably son of
Lucas, of Madnans Neck; but absolute proof of this has not yet
been found. It is thought that the said Isaac had two other sons,
Jacob and Sylvanus, and probably daughters. (G. W. Cocks.)

In these times, the desire for large farms caused many to
leave the settled parts of the county for others where land was
both more plentiful and cheaper. Soon after Cortlandt Manor
was surveyed and apportioned among the heirs of Stephanus
Van Cortlandt, the farms there began to be leased on long terms,
with the privilege of purchase. It is not unlikely that Isaac
Covert (probable son of Lucas) leased "farm No. 5, in Lot. No.
3," and that he, or his son Isaac, purchased it later on. A sim-
ilar removal, probably, from White Plains to this Manor was that
of Daniel Horton, who leased a farm there in 1739, for his own
lifetime and that of his son Stephen. No record of the lease bv
Horton, or deed of purchase of the same is of record (in these
times, leases were not recorded); but a deed of partition of the
farm between two great-grandchildren of said Daniel (viz.: Jacob
and Eliza Horton, only surviving children of Caleb, son of said
Stephen, son of said Daniel) recites that their grandfather,
Stephen Horton, had bought the farm from Philip Verplanck
(the original lessor), April 18, 1794. (West. Co. Deeds, 479, 14.)
If Covert family papers have been preserved and can be found.
it is not unlikely that Isaac Covert (son of Lucas) will be seen to
have leased "farm No. 5, in Lot No. 3." If so, the probabilitv
that he was the father of Isaac, Abraham, Luke, Elisha and John
will approach a certainty.

Elisha Covert, of Cortlandt Manor, and Family.

The indexes of Westchester Co. Deeds do not show Elisha
Covert as grantee or grantor, in deeds recorded up to 1886; and
no item of him has been seen on town records. That he was a
resident of Cortlandt Manor is proved by his will dated Sept. 23,
1779, and proved July 14, 1781. Probably he died in the latter
year. The name of his wife has not been discovered. His age
at any time has not been found; nor have the birth-dates of any
of his children, except Elizabeth and Phebe.

The inscription on the gravestone of Elizabeth (who married
William Horton) in Colchester, Delaware Co., N. Y., states that
she was born Jan. 4, 1743, and died June 24, 183 1. (Ex. inf.
Byron Barnes Horton.)

The inscription on the gravestone of Phebe (who is alleged to
have m. (1) Nicholas Budd, and m. (2) Jesse or Justus Nelson) in
St. Philip's Churchyard, Garrison, N. Y., states that she was born

14

Nov. 7, 1743, and died June 4, 1819. (Ex. inf. James Nelson,
great-great grandson of Phebe and Justus.)

As disclosed by his will, the children of Elisha Covert we
the following :

Sarah.
Dorothy.
Mary.

Phebe, wife of Jesse Nelson. (As above stated, she

alleged to have m. (1) Nicholas Budd. The will

Nicholas Budd of Rumbout Precinct, Dutchess C

N. Y., dated Aug. 17, 1772, and proved Oct. 1, 17

names wife Phebe; and appoints as executors 1

"friends Elisha Covert and Joseph Strang, both

Cortlandt Manor." (N. Y. Wills, 28, 350.) H

marriage to Jesse or Justus Nelson is alleged

have taken place about 1776. (James Nelson, abov

Elizabeth, wife of William Horton.* (She was b. J;

4, 1743; m. 1768; and d. June 24, 1831. Her hi

band, William Horton, was b. Jan. 10, 1743; and

April 4, 1 83 1.

Tamer, wife of Peter Warren. (An editorial fo

note, p. 436, in the Journal of Rev. Silas Cansta

states that she married Warren as his 3d wife, havi

married (2) Capt. Samuel Jefferds; and that s

died March 8, 1829, aet. 80 years.)

Hannah, wife of John Teed.

No further information concerning Elisha Covert has be

obtained.

APPENDIX.

SPRONG ANCESTRY.

As stated above, Lucas Tunis Coevers m. Barbara Sprong
Sprung. Bergen's Early Settlers of Kings Co., N. Y., gives t
following concerning her family:

Sprong or Sprungh. Jan, or Johannes, the common ances
of the family, a soldier from Bon. in the Province of Drenthe,
Oct. 23, 1660, Anna, or Johanna Sodelaers, from Connex, in B
gen, Norway, and d. prior to Sept. 15, 1694, for at that date
widow was m. to Claes Tunisse Clear. Was a smith by tra
residing first at New Amsterdam, and afterwards at Flushii

* The ear-mark of some William Horton was entered March 14, r
(Yorktown Rec. I, p. 15.)

A William Horton, of Cortlandt Manor, bought farm No. 3, in Lot N<
on south side of Croton River, 163 1-2 acres, Feb. 1, 1775. (West. Co. Dei
I. 134.)

One William Horton and wife Elizabeth, of Cortlandt Manor, sold 5 ac
there. May 5, 1785; and both acknowledged the deed May 17, 1785. (W
Co. Deeds, K. p. 67.)

No further items, which seem to relate to this couple, have been seen
any records in Westchester Co. They removed to Colchester, Delaware '
N. Y., where he was a prominent man, and there both deceased. (See Ec
Hortons of Westchester Co., N. Y., N. Y. Gen. <S* Biog. Record, Vol. XXX
p. 108.)

and while a resident of the latter place, he bought. May 29,
1679, of Catharine Van Werven, widow of Do. Polhemius,
for 3300 el., a house and out-buildings, with five home-lots, in the
village of Flat bush, as per page 63 of Liber AA of Flatbush Rec,
to which place he probably removed and joined the Ref. Du.
Ch. of said town. In 1689, he bought a lot of Derick Woertman
at the ferry, as per Liber I, p. 137 of conveyances. He finally
removed to Bush wick. Issue:

JAN SPRONG AND FAMILY.

From various sources the following items are taken:

Oct. 23, 1660, "Jan Sprong, van Bon, Soldaet, en Anna Sed-
elaers, van Conincxbergen," married in N. Y. Du. Ch. (iV. Y.
Gen. & Biog. Soc. Coll., 1890, p. 26.)

Bapt. July 27, 166 1, Barbara, dau. of Johannes Spronck and
Annetie Sedelaers, N. Y. Du. Ch. [N. Y. Gen. & Biog. Soc. Coll.,
1901, p. 61.)

Bapt. April 8, 1663, Gerrit, son of Jan Spronck and Annetie
Sylers, N. Y. Du. Ch. (Id. p. 69.)

• Bapt. Feb. 16, 1667, Johannes, son of Jan Sprong and Annetje
Johannes, N. Y. Du. Ch. (Id. p. 86.)

Bapt. July 18, 1668, Abraham, son of Jan Sprong and Jannetje,
N. Y. Du. Ch. (Id. p. 91.)

Aug. 27, 1682, Lucas Tuniz Coevers and Barbara Sprong mar-
ried, as per Flatbush Du. Ch. Rec. Names of parents or wit-
nesses do not appear. (Hoi. Soc. Year Book, 1898, p. 90.)

The above items are the only ones that have been verified.
The printed records of Brooklyn Du. Ch. Marriages, in Hoi. Soc.
Year Book, do not extend to 1694. In the printed marriages in
Flatbush Du. Ch., there was none of Claes Tunisse Clear in 1694;
but this entry appears therein:

Feb. 12, 1692, "Claes Tunissen Ole (?), to Anetje Sprong."

It is not stated that she was a widow. (Hoi. Soc. Year Book,
1898, p. 95 )

No will or administration of estate of Jan Sprong is indexed
in N. Y. Reg.
